Manchin warns Biden not to 'berate' Republicans during State of the Union

[demmiblue]

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is warning President Biden against berating Republicans during his State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening.

“Reset it. Say today is a new day. Recalibrate,” Manchin said during an appearance on Fox News hours before Biden was set to address a joint session of Congress. “He could not have accomplished everything they’re taking credit for without our Republican friends for working with us. Take credit for that.”

Manchin, a moderate senator from a state that has voted overwhelmingly for Republicans in national elections in recent cycles, often holds the key vote Democrats need in the upper chamber as they work to advance their various agenda items.

Some Republican lawmakers and pundits have blasted Biden in recent months for comments criticizing “ultra MAGA” Republicans who are supportive of former President Trump during high-profile speeches and statements.

7. As though Joe Biden were in the habit of berating anyone.

I suspect that Manchin knows Joe Biden will be the perfect positive role model he always is, and Manchin would like to take some credit for Joe's superb performance.
